I think so, it's clear the bandwagon has spoken

Part X: Whispers of Fire and Blood
  • Threadmarks
    • Whispers of Fire and Blood​

    Twentieth Day of the Ninth Month 289 AC

    It is late, or perhaps early yet you cannot sleep. Your mind is filled with all manner of contrasting and overlapping images: Dany laughing as you try and fail to create proper puzzle pieces with magic, the heady feeling of another's mind bending to your will. The cool, soft touch of illusion upon your form. All are born magic yet you know that they are the barest beginnings of what it can achieve of what you can become. Yet something holds you back. Your memories of awakening to power are muddled yet you can remember this much: the voices you claimed knowledge of magery from were not kind, nor good, through they were in some way kindred out of deep time. You desire their power yes but you fear becoming them. for minutes you lie in bed watching the moonlight playing on the ceiling, paralyzed by indecision.

    You hear Dany call out in her sleep, perhaps a nightmare. The decision is made. You need more power if the two of you are to do more than survive day-to-day upon the edge of a knife.

    The waking world fades from your senses but this is no ordinary dream, you fall into reverie, the sound of your blood amplified like like great drums sounding among the mountains. You seem to be falling... no flying, held aloft by great crimson wings. Far below you in the valleys of the Fourteen Everfire Mounts the wingless thralls labor in the dirt for the greatness of the Lords of Fire and Air. They cower under the shadow of your wings as is right. You near the High Cleft a place where the Elders gather to awaken power in young ones like you. Already the Song of Power is upon the night air speaking of of Fire and Blood many things are revealed onto to you as you circle the Place of Wisdom.

    130 XP Gained

    As you breath deep the soft ashes and the subtle perfume of sulfur mixed with a tantalizing hint of blood and fear:

    [] You descend fully into the Whispering Dark of the cave (???)
    [] You awake with a start shivering in your bed (proceed to level up)

    OOC if the first option looks ominous, well its supposed to but it can be as much a boom as a curse. Only way to find out what it is is to try it.

    Adversity makes for a more interesting story and the author stated it could very well be a boon. Let's take a chance on a less safe path.

    Part XI: Of Magic Most Ancient
  • Threadmarks
    • Of Magic Most Ancient ​

    As you enter the womb of the Deep Earth your blood sings along with the voice of the Elders. You understand them on a level beyond crude speech as your powers twines with theirs like two flames weaving together into a symphony of wondrous devastation. Lust, for gold, for blood for warm flesh and above all else for Power is refined within you as iron is refined into steel, as glittering gems are born here in the eternal silence of the Timeless Dark. As your desires grow and are fulfilled so to will you grow a great crimson tyrant meant to dominate all lesser things that crawl upon the face of the world.

    The Dream shifts and you remember. You are Viserys Targaryen, one of the Last scions of your House and of Doomed Valyria but you are no dragon in the fullness of your being. The memories of your life seem such pale things here in this world of Stygian darkness and Blood-red flames yet you hold them as talismans and forge them into walls to guard yourself from the throbbing familiar/alien Song.

    Your thoughts float above those of the ancient Beast like a ship upon the sea, a fragile construct in the face of it's great depths, yet it is enough. You are the Dragonlord and it is but a Dragon. You will rule it as you rule your magic and as you will come to rule your fate in the fullness of time. A triumphant smile forms upon your sleeping visage.

    Dragon Blood Mechanic revealed: when Dreaming of your power you may dive into deep into the dreams of ancient Dragonkind. You must then make a will save with a DC of 12 + your sorcerer level. On failure one of your feats chosen at random is replaced with a Draconic Feat and your alignment shifts 1d15 towards Evil. On success you may exchange any feat for a Draconic or Metamagic feat of that you are eligible for.

    Due to your courage in facing the unknown and your resiliency of mind you may now chose one free Draconic feat in addition to any adjustments you may wish to make.

    As you wake with the dawn you realize that you have risked if not your soul at least your humanity yet the fear cannot match the elation at your victory, nor your joy at your growing power.

    Level up plan:

    [] Write in

    OOC: you rolled 96 on a 1d100 to get the bonus feat. It is a one-time thing. List of Draconic feats may be found here.

    • I don't have a full plan, but I suggest either Draconic Power or Draconic Senses as the bonus feat. Draconic power gives +1 caster level to all spells and +1 save DC for fire spells, both of which are good. Draconic Senses gives low light vision and an increasing (currently would be +2) bonus to spot/listen/search (all useful skills), and increasing benefits for taking more draconic feats (one more would give darkvision, and two more gives us blindsense which would make us literally impossible to sneak up on).
